What's Changed
Enterprise Data Catalog
This section describes changes to Enterprise Data Catalog in version 10.4.1.2.
Data Asset Analytics
Effective in version 10.4.1.2, Data Asset Analytics includes the following changes:
- Resource Value calculation
- On the Data Value tab page, the Resource Value is calculated by adding the following values:
- - Multiply the specified resource type value with the total number of assets selected based on the asset keywords specified.
- - Multiply the value specified for all other resource types with the total number of assets selected based on the asset keywords specified.
Note: You can specify the asset keywords in the Asset Keywords for Resource Value Calculation text box in Application Configuration.
- After you apply 10.4.1.2, you lose all resource-related configuration and values that you had configured earlier. A rollback does not retain the values that you had configured earlier. The values and configuration for resource types are retained and you might see an increase in the new values based on the updated calculation method.
- Special characters in report name
- For new reports, you can use the following special characters in report names: - (hyphen), @ (at sign), and _ (underscore). Reports created with the earlier versions using unsupported special characters continue to be available with the existing issues. If you copy an existing report that includes unsupported special characters to create a new report, Data Asset Analytics displays a validation error.
- Asset Keywords for Resource Value Calculation
- In Application Configuration, you can specify the asset keywords that you want to use to select assets from the catalog to calculate resource value.
- Currency
- In Application Configuration, you can select the currency in which you want to view asset values on the Data Value tab page.
- Auto Enrichment column
- The Auto Enrichment column in the Asset Enrichment, Data Domain Association, and Business Term Association reports lists the following details based on how an asset is enriched:
- - Inferred. The recommended enrichments for the asset based on profile results.
- - Inferred-Accepted. The inferred enrichment is accepted by the user.
- - Inferred-Auto-Accepted. The inferred enrichment is automatically accepted based on the conformance scores specified.
- - Inferred-Rejected. The inferred enrichment is rejected by the user.
- - Manual. The enrichment for the asset is done manually.
Note: Previously, the report listed Y, No, or I for the Auto Enrichment column in the reports.
- Auto Enrichment filter
- The Auto Enrichment filter for the Asset Enrichment report lists the following options that you can use to filter the report:
- - Inferred
- - Inferred-Accepted
- - Inferred-Auto-Accepted
- - Inferred-Rejected
- - Manual
Note: Previously, the Auto Enrichment filter listed Yes or No as the options.
- Refresh
- The Monitoring page includes a Refresh icon that you can click to refresh the page and view the current status of the reports run.
- Time Range
- The default option in the Time Range drop-down list on the Analytics home page is changed from From Beginning to 1 Year.
- Asset Group Type filter and column
- The Asset Group Type filter and report column are removed from the following reports:
Report | Removed from Filter, Report Column, or Both |
|---|
Asset Enrichment | Both |
Asset Count | Report Column |
Assets with Lineage and Impact | Report Column |
Business Term Association | Report Column |

Configure Conflict Resolution for Auto Acceptance of Data Domains
Effective in version 10.4.1.2, you can choose the Match data or column name rule option to auto-accept data domain on the basis of data or column name rule.
